Senior Credit Risk Manager / Director Location: New York Language: English required; additional language proficiency a plus Role Mission Maximize gross profit and portfolio resilience through continuous testing and optimization of credit approval/decline rules, credit line assignment, pricing, and loan duration strategies. Role Outcomes Why this role exists and what success looks like Portfolio resilience: Within one month of starting, define and model a path to a portfolio capable of absorbing a 100% increase in losses without gross margin falling below a defined threshold. Consistent acquisition cohorts: By the end of month three, ensure no stable customer segments exhibit a ?15% relative variance between expected and actual credit losses at acquisition, achieved through timely short-term policy or rule adjustments. Early momentum: Identify and launch at least one experiment within three months that improves approval strategy, credit limits, pricing, or loan duration. Within four months, at least one live experiment should demonstrate a 1 percentage-point increase in gross profit within the treatment group. Sustained gross profit generation: Within the first year, generate $1M in cumulative incremental gross profit attributable to implemented credit policy changes and experiments. Within two years, reach $5M in cumulative incremental gross profit. Experience & Scope Notes There is no strict years-of-experience requirement. However, to operate effectively at this level and within the expected compensation range, successful candidates typically bring approximately 6–12 years of relevant experience. This is a senior individual contributor role. Impact is expected to be driven primarily through analysis, experimentation, code, and automation rather than people management. Leadership opportunities may emerge over time where outcomes are best achieved through team expansion. In a fast-growing environment, personal effectiveness—not resource availability—will be the primary limiter of impact. Role-Specific Competencies Relevant background: At least one year of experience in either non-prime consumer lending or consumer lending within emerging markets. Experience across both is a strong advantage. Analytical independence: Demonstrated ability to produce technically correct analysis without requiring validation from others. Advanced SQL proficiency is required. Autonomy and ownership: Once familiar with the product and customer base, you proactively identify opportunities for improvement and independently drive initiatives to completion. Comfort with challenge: Ability to receive and engage constructively with critical feedback from leaders and stakeholders, including having assumptions and conclusions questioned. Influence and persuasion: Capacity to gain alignment and drive adoption of decisions that may be unpopular but are critical to financial health and risk management. Risk mindset: Naturally vigilant about downside risk and profit erosion; inclined to dig beyond surface-level explanations and continuously question potential failure modes. Communication and executive presence: Clear, confident communicator capable of managing expectations and presenting credibly to senior stakeholders. Communication should be structured, concise, and easy to follow.

Vice President, Compliance OfficerDenver, CO or Salt Lake City, UT | $150k-$175k base + 25% bonus + equityOwn two programs. Build both from the ground up. Report straight to the person who runs second and third line.This is a high-growth commercial bank that's still small enough to move fast and flat enough that you'll never be three layers removed from the decisions that matter. It rebranded and repositioned itself as a serious commercial banking player, and it's building the risk and compliance function to match.Right now, CRA and vendor management sit with the same person who's about to step into a CRO-track role. That person needs a partner. Not someone to hand busywork to, someone who can take real ownership of two programs that are usually run by two different people at two different banks.What you'll actually be doing:Running the CRA program end to end: policy, performance tracking, and working with bankers to build lending programs that actually get sold, not just filed awayOwning third party risk and vendor management: the system, the reviews, the reporting, the relationships with every business owner who has a vendorGetting taught the half of this you haven't done before, by people who've done it at scaleWho fits:You don't need to tick both boxes already. If you've got CRA experience and want to learn vendor management, or vice versa, that's the point of this role, not a gap to explain away. What matters more is whether you've got seasoning at a senior level and whether you actually want to build something rather than maintain what's already there.If you've spent your career at a bank where everything was already built and you were one voice among many, this probably isn't for you. If you've ever wished you had more room to be creative with how a program actually runs, this might be exactly it.The practical bits:Based in Denver or Salt Lake City, in office 4 days a weekRelocation covered for the right personReports directly into the department head, no layers in betweenBase up to $175k, 25% annual bonus, sign on equity, three year vestIf you want more exposure, more ownership, and a seat at the table earlier than you'd get almost anywhere else in banking, this is worth a conversation.
